Too Sexy

February 14, 2007

Partially because I just love villains and partially because of the uncanny resemblance between Mr. Trent Reznor and Mr. Severus Snape…but I found this while perusing the Internet and just had to share…

A blog I regularly read informed me that today is David Bowie’s 60th birthday! He made a comment about how Bowie remains cool after all these years. I had to comment.One thing that stands Bowie apart for me is that when I see those icons of greatness of the entertainment variety I usually also see the Faustian bargains they’ve made along the way.

Bowie has always seemed to be able to seduce the damn devil, promising him that tomorrow he will sell the soul, but for tonight, my LightBringer, let us explore the reaches just a bit more

I know he gave me a particular tingle of an exceedingly rare variety when I had the opportunity to meet him because of a friend of mine who was on tour with him. He was casual, cool, polite and when he grasped my hand he broke into a short chorus of “Little China Girl” and for all the famous persons I have met, I felt the single-most starstruck at that moment. School-girl giddy would just about sum it up. I had to turn away I turned so red around the ears.
